At like age 12 I made the local all star team but I was one of the lesser players on that team. Anyways the coach put me at 8th in the lineup and told me I was the 'second cleanup 'and I believed him lol I was like hell yeah
I’m more interested in what makes a hitter in a lineup... i.e... what makes a 3rd hitter in a lineup vs a cleanup hitter at 4th? Both of these guys are typically your power hitters... think of Mantle & Maris McGwire & Canseco Mauer & Morneau Who gets the nod here at cleanup? The guy with the higher battting average? Or the guy who hits the most extra base hits or homers? You could even expand this to positions 2 - 5 in a lineup... the lead off hitter is fairly simple to figure out... he’s the table setter.
Yeah, I was hoping he would share his thoughts on the logic used to set a lineup. I've always had speedy/lots of walk at 1-2, power hitters 3 - 4 - 5, your Mendoza's 6-7-8 and then the pitcher (I don't acknowledge DH!!) . I'd love to hear other's ideas. Recently I've seen some managers do pitcher 8th, and another 'lead-off' guy 9th, but I find that logic weird.
i dont know if i know how to articulate this question properly, but ill try... of all the positions in baseball, what position do you think benefits most from study of the game and hard work. and what are more benefited from god given physical gifts.
A T O M E N T definitely a catcher I think. You gotta have an arm though. You can be a shitty bat and benefit from time in the film room more than anyone. Huge demand for the position too.
Can you explain the MLB pension for former players? How long do you have to play to qualify? Does the amount change based on years of service? Is it based on salary while playing? At what age does it vest? Thanks for the great content.
It's obvious how the first three or four hitters are chosen but what about the rest of the line up? Do they just chose them in order of their average or is there something else in the decision? (For instance, it might make sense to alternate players with good on base percentages, with long ball hitters.) I've always wondered about this.
Great video. You definitely are leadoff hitter or drag 9 hole to get a break. Great plate discipline and speed. Get on base a lot. I think everyone has different opinion on batting order but looks like they all are similar. Hers my breakdown of lineup 1. Great on base percentage speed or basestealing a plus great plate vision and discipline 2. Doesn’t hit into double plays usually a lefty or a push hitting righty must be able to bunt 3. Best hitter 4. Clutch hitter who can hit for power and can at the least sac fly in runner from 3rd will see the worst pitches so plate disicipline a plus 5. Power hitter who has best chance for rbis 6. Average hitter 7. Hitter in a slump 8. Worst hitter 9. Interchangeable with lead off hitter to not get too many at bats and get burnt out important hitter because gets top of order back up. So leadoff or last and possibly 7 th here and there because even when you were not hitting you still got on base a lot. I’d bat you 7th if I’m really trying to spark your bat. Leadoff back in the day with a guy your size would scare the crap out of 2b or ssn because there isn’t many 215 lb leadoff hitters.
How long did you plan on playing and is the Hall of Fame a goal for some players? Also, is everyone there for a championship? Or more for the love of the sport or money?
Stupid questions. How can any player plan on playing any specific number of years, you moron. "I only plan on playing 5 years, then I'm gonna open my fishing charter company that has always really been my dream." Is the hall of fame a goal for some players? No, you fucking idiot. Nobody wants to be in the hall of fame. Cooperstown is overrated. And players don't want to win championships either.
Hey Matt. Really enjoy your vids, and would be interested in your comments about which system you prefer: DH in AL or NL with no DH. I prefer NL style, mainly because that's what I grew up playing and think that it gives the manager more decisions: double switching, pitch-hitting, et. Thanks much, good luck and keep doing a great job.
The batting order I want for the dodgers 1. Joc Pederson LF 2. Max Muncy 1B 3. Alex Verdugo CF 4. Cody Bellinger RF 5. Justin Turner 3B 6. Russell Martin C 7. Chris Taylor SS 8. Kiké Hernandez 2B 9. Clayton Kershaw P
My angels lineup hopes in 2020 1.David Fletcher 2B 2.Mike Trout CF 3. Jo Adell/Kole Calhoun RF 4. Shohei Ohtani DH 5. Tommy La Stella 3B 6. Justin Upton LF 7. Andrelton Simmons SS 8. Brock Holt 1B 9. Max Stassi C P Gerrit Cole
@Antonelli Baseball, can you do a video over what the steps would be if someone has been away from baseball for about 4 years? Would you have to go play some kind of college ball or would there be other ways to get a shot in the MLB, AAA, OR AA?
Hey antonelli first off imma big fan of your UA-cam vids please keep them coming! But I wanted to ask u I'm 24year old kid and I want to baseball again and see how far I could go I still have college eligibility should I go back to school like a community college and compete and get my look there or should I just go these Indy ball league tryouts and try to come up that way since I'm older or does age not matter? Just your words of wisdom would be dope if u get a chance thank you bruh!
Antonelli Baseball thank you bruh..and thanks for being so active on your channel and taking the time to reply! I'll be going the Indy route in that case then cause yea school work ain't really my thang..keep up the good work your channel is the best straight up!
The batting order I want for the Angels 1. Tommy La Stella 3B 2. Mike Trout CF 3. Kole Calhoun RF 4. Albert Pujols 1B 5. David Fletcher SS 6. Justin Upton DH 7. Luis Rengifo 2B 8. Brian Goodwin LF 9. Kevan Smith C P. None I want, we need better pitchers!!!
you understand, after the first inning, the order doesnt matter? In the 2nd inning, the next batter becomes the first batter. You dont start over at each inning. If the first 3 batters get out in the first inning, the 4th batter becomes the first batter, in the second inning.
Yes true, but the 1 hitter will always lead off at least one inning every game. 2 hitter will hit 2 at least once, 3 hitter will hit 3 at least once. Can't say that for other spots.Thanks for watching!!!
awingmaster just like anyone and especially being an authority figure; you would ask him or they tell you; unless you get comfortable and you start calling him something he doesn't mind. Skip, boss, First or Nickname
Of course players have no say in batting order! I thought this vid would answer the question that its title asked! In softball (and I guess baseball below the pros)... #1-Best on-base percentage who can steal bases; #2-Good bunter/hitter who is able to move the runner and can do so under pressure (perhaps the most challenging spot); #3- best power hitter; #4 & #5- good power hitters; #6 & #7- average hitters; #8 a batter who is struggling (pitchers tend to relax with #7 and especially #8 so they will to get better pitches to hit); #9- the place to groom a young, future leadoff. This spot sets up the top of the order. Important to understand... In most games, #1,2,3,4 will get more plate appearances than the lower half. Even if you keep it private, knowing your player's batting statistics is important for managing your batting order. It is excellent information that indicates who should bat where.
Where i young ball player aspiring to play in the show, i'd follow you with keen interest. i'm not, but as a fan, i'll follow you with keen interest. lol thx
Just because you hit 15 home runs in low A doesn't mean you're ready for High A. You could be really young, 22 for instance, strike out a lot and struggle defensively. They will move you up when you're ready. Power doesn't equate to success. Gotta be able to get on base and play competent defense.
As was stated by others. You didn't answer the question. The question really is "How do managers DECIDE WHO HITS WHERE IN THE LINEUP ?" The question is not "Where did you bat?"
T C Well actually he did, he said that it was decided based on how well you hit and whether or not you are deserving of the spot on the lineup. But obviously he’s not an MLB manager so he was speaking from what he experienced.
At like age 12 I made the local all star team but I was one of the lesser players on that team. Anyways the coach put me at 8th in the lineup and told me I was the 'second cleanup 'and I believed him lol I was like hell yeah
Lmao same thing happened to me!! All star team, batted 9th, and thr coach said I was the "second leadoff" 😂
@@dustinwroten353 Batting 9th you really are the second lead off tho lol
Dustin Wroten 9th hitter usually puts that bat on the ball a lot. Like I hit 450 and I bat 9th. Don’t have a lot of pop though….
Heard the same thing.
I’m more interested in what makes a hitter in a lineup... i.e... what makes a 3rd hitter in a lineup vs a cleanup hitter at 4th? Both of these guys are typically your power hitters... think of
Mantle & Maris
McGwire & Canseco
Mauer & Morneau
Who gets the nod here at cleanup? The guy with the higher battting average? Or the guy who hits the most extra base hits or homers?
You could even expand this to positions 2 - 5 in a lineup... the lead off hitter is fairly simple to figure out... he’s the table setter.
A better video would be an analysis of how the manager decides in what order each player should hit. I thought that's what this was.
Lol me too
Yeah, I was hoping he would share his thoughts on the logic used to set a lineup. I've always had speedy/lots of walk at 1-2, power hitters 3 - 4 - 5, your Mendoza's 6-7-8 and then the pitcher (I don't acknowledge DH!!) . I'd love to hear other's ideas. Recently I've seen some managers do pitcher 8th, and another 'lead-off' guy 9th, but I find that logic weird.
Ive always understood it as 2 sets of 4. I was hoping he would give a more technical explanation.
@@dougsholly9323 kudos to you for being anti dh. Me also.
Tim McCarver's book "Baseball for Brain Surgeons and Other Fans" addresses how the order is decided. Great book.
Love the channel. Keep up the good work.

It's good to have a solid hitter in the 9 hole. Gets back to the top early

Have you been in the "zone"? If so what was your experience like?
Yes a few times. Just feel like you are going to square everything up. It's a good feeling!
Wait you dont call the Coach, "Coach"? What level do you stop that?

Brother lineup how to check, there is an application, if there is a website
So your saying if a guy is 22 even tho he is crushing the ball he wont move up?
joseph brahimi yeah didn't understand that either
Just because you hit 15 home runs in low A doesn't mean you're ready for High A. You could be really young, 22 for instance, strike out a lot and struggle defensively. They will move you up when you're ready. Power doesn't equate to success. Gotta be able to get on base and play competent defense.
22 is young for baseball players in the mlb ... most start mid 20,s 24 or 25
Mainly on who is he coach’s kids are then the rest fall into place .

Wow...there are players in the minors who are crushing the ball but get too they're not moving up because they're too old?...

what do they call the coach in minor leagues
Skipper. Or their first name.
You grab/adjust your hat on average 5.89 times a video

Why do baseball players spit so much? How disgusting is the dugout during a game with all the tobacco, spit, and sunflower seeds?
Nobody does tobacco anymore LMFAO it's illegal in the MLB, and its not legal for anybody 21 so that eliminates it.
